As of 10:05 a.m., hundreds of people had already shown up for the funeral, including police from as far away as the Huntsville area.

About 10:30 a.m., Green's family arrived. Others in attendance include Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.

Green was fatally stabbed
by a robbery suspect last Friday and later died of his injuries at the
University of South Alabama Medical Center in Mobile. The suspect,
Lawrence Wallace Jr., was shot and killed by police the same day.

After the service, the funeral procession left the auditorium and headed to Lawn Haven Memorial Gardens, off Old Pascagoula Road in Tillman's Corner.

The route was expected to take the procession of personal vehicles and
police cruisers south on Clark
Avenue from Seminary Street to St. Stephens Road, then move west to
Interstate 65 South. From the interstate, it was expected to proceed west on Government Street to Three Notch Road,
where it will turn north, headed to Old Pascagoula Road.

Mobile
City Council President Reggie Copeland suggested residents keep their
headlights on while driving today show respect for Green and his
family.

Green is survived by his wife, Valerie McQueen Green; three young children; his parents, Erica Hyter and Steve Lee Robinson; three sisters, three brothers and many other relatives and friends.

Green was a 1995 graduate of Blount High School, where he played on the varsity football team.
